Have any of these 2nd round internationals who "get sent overseas to develop" actually panned out?

Bjelica on the way.

A lot of those guys have talent, but many of them either don't intend on being drafted (some are automatically eligible) or realize that they'd rather be a high paid star at home than be a bench warmer in the NBA.

Marc Gasol for sure

i'm still waiting for the day Sofoklis Schortsanitis aka Baby Shaq comes to America and dominates the league :mjlol:

He had a lot of hype around 2006. When I think about this, I notice it's already been 9 years.

Time flies fast...

About to find out with Sergio Llull....

Tbh, I'm 99% sure he's good enough to play in NBA.


That's the thing with some of the international players. They get drafted when they're 20, stay in Europe to develop, and when they'd be good enough to contribute in NBA when they're 25+, they are stars on their teams in Europe and dont feel like being bench players in NBA & getting paid the same or less $$$
